3 Minute Egg

[pegkerr]

A friend sent me this today:

I wanted to let you know about a video-a-day production created by my friend, Matt Peiken, a former Pioneer Press journalist and editor for the Walker Art Center. He calls it '3-Minute Egg' and the videos are just that: nice, short videos about all kinds of art.

I'm not that into blogs, and don't have a lot of time to spare these days. But I love these. So far, I've learned about the orchestra returning for the beginning of the season, flamenco dancers performing at Minnehaha Falls, improv artists taking a show on the road, and the Franconia Sculpture Park near the St. Croix river. The site says:

3-Minute Egg is "The Twin Cities arts seen," created and produced by Matt Peiken, former staff arts writer at the St. Paul Pioneer Press and managing editor of the Walker Art Center’s magazine.

In our Egg basket, you’ll find local arts and artists across the spectrum of disciplines:

tEGGSt — Literature/books, poetry, spoken word

Sunny Side Up — Visual art and film

The Yolk — Theater, dance and comedy

Egg Whites — classical music, choral music and opera

Hard-Boiled — Rock, jazz and hip-hop

Scrambled — Episodes featuring artists and events touching on two or more artistic disciplines

You can view 3-Minute Egg on many platforms, including iTunes, Facebook, Miro, blip.tv and, of course, this site. Content is always free — just subscribe, and have a fresh Egg delivered to your online doorstep every weekday morning.

I have set it up as an RSS feed: 3minuteegg so you can see the videos on your friends list.
